When you fly into the capital Oslo what you see from above is a sea of fjords, rivers, lakes and pine trees. And what you see is what you get. When you pick up your rental car to go on a road trip through Norway, you drive for hours and seemingly endlessly through thick forests and along rivers, and fjord after fjord, after fjord. One can imagine that this land must be full of funny looking trolls living on trees and in between rocks and cliffs and all over Norway's wild and isolated mountainous plateaus.
